You're probably looking for examples of tachometer projects.

This one, PicTacho, has sample code in CCS:

Edited to add:
The link above is dead. However, the Pictacho.zip files can be
downloaded from the link below. Look about half-way down this page:

This one has source code in ASM:

The little 8x2 LCD is available from http://www.mouser.com
It's made by Hantronix.

Here is my method of extending Timer1 to 24 bits, which
allows you to use only one CCP pre-scaler for all RPM ranges.

I'm about to start.

It should be easy enough, using reed switches simply count the number of times the switch is turned on, then just do simple multiplications.
